The USA is not in a very privileged place, he had to pass through hurricanes, earthquakes and others natural events, though he had huge lost some time, could be worst. And one of the best examples of that is what happens on this Sunday (08/28) the Irene hurricane.
The Irene hurricane began to arrive in the New York City on Sunday morning, with most of the roads flooded and the Times Square abandoned. That happens because all the residents of New York was already informed about the intensity of the Irene Hurricane and did not left their homes. "When you wake up in the morning, please, stay inside,'' a Bloomberg said that, Saturday night (08/27) "Nature is a lot stronger than the rest of us."
A mandatory evacuation was ordered for over 370,000 residents of New York City that were in dangerous zones. The Bloomberg said that they want that the hurricane be an inconvenience not a fatal experience. It was the first mandatory evacuation in New York's history.
In the end of the story the Irene hurricane made more than 10,000 airplanes be canceled, 90 emergency shelters have been opened in NYC, put 65million in risk around the country, and made at least 25 victims in the United States.
However, one more time the United States shows for the world how organized and preventive they can be saving a lot of lives.
My opinion about the story:
One more time the United States shows a responsible work protecting their citizens
And organizing a immediately and functional evacuation.
I think the Irene hurricane was something very scary for all the persons that living here in the United States, the hurricane don`t pass in Georgia, but we could see how destructive he was in the others states.
Just opened the season of hurricane here and we already have a big and dangerous one. That leaves me to think what else we should be preparing for.
Hopefully we started with the worst and all the hurricanes that come now on won’t be worst than a storm.
